WARNING: A restraints control module (RCM) only requires

replacement if the system has incurred five separate deployments. At no time
change the RCM for less than five separate deployments.

WARNING: Always wear safety glasses when repairing an air bag

supplemental restraint system (SRS) vehicle and when handling an air bag
module. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.

WARNING: To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury,

the backup power supply must be depleted before repairing or replacing any air
bag SRS components. To deplete the backup power supply energy, disconnect the
battery ground cable and wait one minute. Failure to follow this instruction may
result in personal injury.

WARNING: Carry a live air bag module with the air bag and trim cover

pointed away from your body. This will reduce the risk of injury in the event of
an accidental deployment. Failure to follow this instruction may result in
personal injury.

WARNING: Never probe the connectors on the air bag module. Doing so

may result in air bag deployment. Failure to follow this instruction may result in
personal injury.

WARNING: New nylon thread forming inserts must be used ever time the

screws are removed from the side air curtain. Failure to follow this instruction
may result in personal injury.

WARNING: Only carry out a system test with the air bag modules fully

installed. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.

NOTE:

Repair is made by replacement only.

NOTE:

When installing a new air bag module, a prepaid return postcard is provided with
the replacement air bag module. The serial number for the new part and the

Limited.
